IEOS2015:
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and
organisations from a range of disciplines with shared interests in the
development of new approaches for data handling, generation and analysis
in environmental omics. Science areas of interest include bioinformatics,
DNA-barcoding, genomics, metagenomics, metabarcoding, transcriptomics,
proteomics, metabolomics, epigenetics, evolutionary and ecological omics,
phylogenetics, study of ancient DNA and anthropology, new tools, resources
and training, and beyond as applied to the study of the natural
environmental and environmentally relevant organisms and systems. It is
our hope is that the resulting interaction and exchange of ideas will lead
to novel approaches, new collaborations and the consolidation of a wider
integrated environmental 'omics community.
EOS and this conference are supported by Natural Environmental Research
Council (NERC) through its Mathematics and Informatics for Environmental
'Omics Data Synthesis programme and the UK Science and Technology
Facilities Council (STFC) Global Challenges programme.
